numpy.vstack

numpy.vstack(tup)[source]

Stack arrays in sequence vertically (row wise).

This is equivalent to concatenation along the first axis after 1-D arrays of shape (N,) have been reshaped to (1,N). Rebuilds arrays divided by vsplit.

This function makes most sense for arrays with up to 3 dimensions. For instance, for pixel-data with a height (first axis), width (second axis), and r/g/b channels (third axis). The functions concatenate, stack and block provide more general stacking and concatenation operations.

Parameters
tupsequence of ndarrays

The arrays must have the same shape along all but the first axis. 1-D arrays must have the same length.

Returns
stackedndarray

The array formed by stacking the given arrays, will be at least 2-D.

concatenate

Join a sequence of arrays along an existing axis.

stack

Join a sequence of arrays along a new axis.

block

Assemble an nd-array from nested lists of blocks.

hstack

Stack arrays in sequence horizontally (column wise).

dstack

Stack arrays in sequence depth wise (along third axis).

column_stack

Stack 1-D arrays as columns into a 2-D array.

vsplit

Split an array into multiple sub-arrays vertically (row-wise).

Examples

>>> a = np.array([1, 2, 3])
>>> b = np.array([4, 5, 6])
>>> np.vstack((a,b))
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [4, 5, 6]])
>>> a = np.array([[1], [2], [3]])
>>> b = np.array([[4], [5], [6]])
>>> np.vstack((a,b))
array([[1],
       [2],
       [3],
       [4],
       [5],
       [6]])
